"You have no hunting quirks, you know that?" Dante said, pocketing his shovel. "In any case, I gotta go. Daphne and all of that." The mutt said, then ran off. "I gotta go too." Zephyr said, then transformed into icy vapor and flew into the sky.

"I'm too lazy to hunt." Ellery deadpanned at Dante. "It bores me."

Jared looked at Alice for a moment before rolling around and standing up from the bed. "I'll just go take a walk."
"It helps at getting criminals! Which are what Desiree's parents are now!" Dante shot over his shoulder as he ran.
"I have a plan, I told you." Ellery pointed out with a bored expression. "You're that wants to kill anyone that isn't on your side."
"You want me to go with you?" Alice asked as she sat up in bed, "Maybe I can calm down these rascals enough so I can get some sleep."
"I don't want to bother you though." Jared pointed out as he turned to Alice.
"You wouldn't be," Alice replied with a smile, "Like I said, these rascals won't let me sleep anyways."
Jared looked at her and smiled. "Well then I'll be glad if you make me company." he stated and stretched his hand towards her.
Desiree watched the pair for a moment, in silence before looking at the sky, she still couldn't believe her parents had come back and attempted to take her again, when would it end? She looked back at the pair "So, what now?" Desiree asked.
Alice stood up and wrapped a silk, lavender robe around her before grabbing Jared's hand.
"Of course," she whispered as she placed her hand on her belly.
Jared grabbed Alice's hand as well and started walking out along with her.

Two days later for those in the academy and one day for Jared and Alice....
Ellery had decided to stay at the academy in the case of Desiree's parents coming back, he had told Shinn about them possibly returning and as thus had taken measures in case of their return, because of that he was now staying over at Desiree's room. "Okay, breakfast is done." he called out from the kitchen.

Jared and Alice had been woken up early along with Elise, Kuroki and Shiro. The group was then led further up into the mountain until they were standing on a cliff over looking the rest of the forest and what was beyond it. Jared was wearing a figure hugging sleevedless shirt along with a pair of black combat pants and fingerless black gloves. He rubbed the back of his neck nervously as he saw his grandfather slowly approaching the premises along with three aides.
Alice sighed as she stood behind Jared. She had her hand on her belly, rubbing it softly.
"It's okay, babies," she whispered, "Daddy will be fine."
John looked at Jared for a moment and smirked. "I guess you really are willing to do this." he stated before looking at Shiro, Kuroki and Elise. "You three, stand behind him."
Elise looked at Kuroki and Shiro for a moment before she walked to the spot behind Jared. John smiled. "I'll explain this, since Jared is basically trying to take my place as head he needs followers behind him, to obtain the spot he and his followers will have to beat me and the ones that I picked, if they are able to beat my team then they'll be able to take my place."
Kuroki was really nervous, and didn't know how to react. She has never been in a situation quite like this.
Alice frowned as she looked at John.
"Then why am I here, sir?" she asked.
